In the current political discourses of the parties as well as non-party forces, fascism has become the oftenest quoted epithet to describe the Indian panorama under BJP’s rule. During the 1970s, in the wake of the first major split in the Congress, rise of Indira Gandhi as the supremo within the Congress, and then during the days of the Emergency, talks of fascism had become a regular agenda. Thereafter, emergence of regional parties as opposition to the Congress, many non-Congress Governments coming to office in various states and on several occasions, decline of the Congress as the biggest national party, pushed the talk of fascism behind the public arena (right or wrong, whatever one may think). Recently, following the ascent of BJP to the Union Government in 2014, with special reference to the premiership of Narendra Modi, the notorious organizer of the gruelling bloodbath of the Muslims in Gujarat, the talk has returned with louder voice.
